Aspects of Staffing
There are three aspects of staffing: recruitment, selection and training. Together they form the core of how any organisation builds its workforce — recruitment searches for and attracts a pool of prospective candidates, selection chooses the most suitable person from that pool, and training prepares the chosen person to actually do the job. These three aspects are now discussed in detail in the sections that follow. …
The diagram is a flow chart titled "Aspects of Staffing." At the top, two boxes sit side by side: the left box is labelled Applicant (Person) and the right box is labelled Organisation (Job). A double-headed arrow connects them, indicating that staffing is fundamentally about matching a person to a job — the two sides must come together.
Below this top pair, three boxes are stacked vertically in the centre of the diagram. Each box represents one of the three sequential aspects of staffing:
- Recruitment (identification and attraction) — the first stage, where the organisation identifies and attracts potential candidates.
- Selection (assessment, evaluation and final match) — the second stage, where candidates are assessed, evaluated, and the final match is made.
- Training (Acquainting and skill development) — the third stage, where the selected person is acquainted with the job and their skills are developed.
Horizontal arrows run into each of these three stage boxes from both rails — from the Applicant (Person) box on the left and from the Organisation (Job) box on the right — so that every arrowhead points into a stage. This shows that at each stage the applicant and the organisation are brought together. This layout shows that the applicant moves through recruitment, then selection, then training — and at each step, the organisation is simultaneously involved, moving closer to a successful match. …
